 It's been pretty fantastic just getting to know new people. When you're at home, everyone kind of comes from the same background. If you're not talking to at least one new person a day, then you're not doing college correctly. My name is Colson Eubank, and I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia. My college-church process was of course a little bit difficult. Like a lot of high schoolers, I kind of waited until the last minute to make a decision. I was looking at a few colleges in Virginia back home, mostly for their chemistry programs. It took me a little while to find my fit, but when I did, I knew that it was going to be UA. It's the perfect environment to kind of incubate that academic mindset, and it's a big family. Most of my schools back home, they're about two-thirds in-state and one-third out-of-state. I was a little bit concerned I wasn't going to know anybody, but it was not hard at all to make new friends, to meet people from all over the country. I know that coming on the campus, I wasn't very well versed in what extracurriculars were available here at UA, but there's just a lot of opportunity here. I'm the president of the Alabama Kayaking Club. We specialize in like whitewater instruction and things like that. I've tried out the sailing club and the outdoor adventure club. I came in with absolutely no whitewater experience. I had done a little bit of rafting. I'd gotten in a kayak, well, a whitewater kayak once, and now I'm the president of the club. So I hope that speaks to how much you get to learn here at UA outside of the classroom. There's just no way that you can't find something that you're going to be enjoying and something to get involved in here.
